Thanks go out to hopscotch for the Schlaflys! Pours up a nice creamy head over a copper colored body. Good malt aroma. Smooth, well rounded malty flavor, good finish. I liked this one. Worth a try if you like Oktoberfests.

Pours a nice copper color with big soda pop type bubbles. Aroma is malty and the flavor is super malty with a spicy kick to it. Leaves a nice roasted flavor on the pallet. A good effort for this style.

I find this to be off style. In fact, this reminds me more of a Pale Ale or Bitter, though with a larger malt presence. Amber-colored, topped with a creamy tan head. Light, fruity aroma. Flavor is similar to the aroma- light fruity malts predominate, but hops are also quite noticeable. Finishes with a cheerio-toastiness. Not what I expect from the style, but still a pretty good beer.
